Answer :
Answer:
Option A
Explanation:
As we know
Percent yield is the ratio of actual yield/theoretical yield
a) Percent yield - Theoretical yield 52.3 g; actual yield 50.7g = 0.97 = 97%
b) Percent Yield - Theoretical yield 17.1 g; actual yield 15.7g = 92%
c) Percent Yield - Theoretical yield 38.8 g; actual yield 36.2 g = 93%
d) Percent Yield - Theoretical yield 24.6 g; actual yield 22.5 g = 91%
Hence option A is correct
Final answer:
The reaction with the greatest percent yield is a, with a percent yield of 97.11%.
Explanation:
The percent yield is calculated by dividing the actual yield by the theoretical yield and multiplying by 100. Let's calculate the percent yield for each reaction:
a. Percent yield = (50.7g / 52.3g) * 100 = 97.11%
b. Percent yield = (15.7g / 17.1g) * 100 = 91.81%
c. Percent yield = (36.2g / 38.8g) * 100 = 93.3%
d. Percent yield = (22.5g / 24.6g) * 100 = 91.46%
Based on these calculations, the reaction with the highest percent yield is a with a percent yield of 97.11%.
